Package: propellor
Version: 5.18-1
Severity: normal

Hi,
Since version 3.12, cabal will not build propellor config if it has no
package index.
When using propellor --init, it fails when trying to build the
configuration:
nicolas@testvm:~$ propellor --init

`--------------------------- * \ | | '--------'
(o) `
Propellor's configuration file is ~/.propellor/config.hs
Let's get you started with a simple config that you can adapt
to your needs. You can start with:
A: A clone of propellor's git repository (most flexible)
B: The bare minimum files to use propellor (most simple)
Which would you prefer? [A|B] b
hint: Using 'master' as the name for the initial branch. This default
branch name
hint: will change to "main" in Git 3.0. To configure the initial branch name
hint: to use in all of your new repositories, which will suppress this
warning,
hint: call:
hint:
hint: git config --global init.defaultBranch <name>
hint:
hint: Names commonly chosen instead of 'master' are 'main', 'trunk' and
hint: 'development'. The just-created branch can be renamed via this
command:
hint:
hint: git branch -m <name>
hint:
hint: Disable this message with "git config set advice.defaultBranchName
false"

Great! Propellor is bootstrapped.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Propellor can use gpg to encrypt private data about the systems it manages,
and to sign git commits.
You don't seem to have gpg installed, so skipping setting it up.
Propellor can still be used without gpg, but it won't be able to
manage private data. You can set this up later:
1. gpg --gen-key
2. propellor --add-key (pass it the key ID generated in step 1)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everything is set up ...
Your next step is to edit ~/.propellor/config.hs
and run propellor again to try it out.

Enjoy propellor!

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.
If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:
git switch -c <new-branch-name>
Or undo this operation with:
git switch -
Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice.detachedHead to false

Again, it works if cabal update has been run for the root user (like
with `ssh root@testvm cabal update`).
There is a `--offline` flags for cabal, but it does not solve the
problem:
nicolas@testvm:~/.propellor$ cabal build --offline
Error: [Cabal-7160]
The package list for 'hackage.haskell.org' does not exist. Run 'cabal
update' to download it.
The user can work around the problem by running `cabal update`, but this
has the side effect of wasting 1 GB of index, which are useles for
propellor usage. On the machine you run propellor, that’s 1 GB for your
own user and 1 GB for the root user.
This problem can be seen on Debian testing and unstable, where
cabal-install is at version 3.12.
Kind regards,
Nicolas.
